Learn to Send Perfect Morse Code by Hand - Vintage Training Film (Ham Radio / CW)
What is the proper (and most efficient) technique for creating Morse code by hand, using a manual Morse code key? Ham radio operators find Morse code (and the 'CW' mode, or 'Continuous Wave' keying mode) very useful, even though Morse code is no longer required as part of the licensing process. Morse code is highly effective in weak-signal radio work. And, preppers love Morse code because it is the most efficient way to communicate when there is a major disaster that could wipe out the communications infrastructure.
While this military film is antique, the vintage information is timeless, as the material is applicable to Morse code, even today.

Learned Morse in the army. Copied "canned code " in school. Once we went to the field and got some experience, we could recognize individual stations by the operator's fist.

I thought this was a WW2 era film, but then they showed the reel to reel tape recorder. While audio tape had been invented much earlier, reel to reel tape recorders didn't come into common use until the early 1950's. If it had been made during WW2 if it showed a recording device it would most likely be a wire recorder, a reel to reel recording medium using flexible steel wire instead of tape. Audio tape recorders replaced the wire recorders starting in the early 1950's.

I’ve never been this early to see everybody getting recommended a video.
My dad was in WWII 3rd Armored Division 36th Armored Infantry Regiment. He was a radio operator in a half track for around 260 days on front lines. He never told us much about it. He knew Morse Code. I would think he operated this radio. He did tell my brother before he passed, one time a shell hit inside his half track and killed everyone but him. I assume it was due to where he was located by the radios. Miss him so much.
